I'm not sure when it happened, but they are no longer offering DRM-free ebooks and are using Adobe DRM. It's rather disappointing.
You're mistaken: Pottermore have never sold DRM-free books. The books sold direct from the site use watermarking; those sold from other stores use the usual DRM methods of those stores.
